do not think the husband was entirely
to blame, Yet If be had had q little more
patience end tact matters might h.ve
meUded considerably.
For the first few months CT her welded
life everything went Oh very smoothly
too smoothly, in fact. They were both
too attentive TO each otneI for il to last.
Finally, one day she did h-tle more
Homework than usasI-h0usewJ that
she had neglected 10 finish very inter
estiGg novel that some kind friend had
loa1ed. The time slipped away very
quickly, sud she found she could not
dress fer dinner GnQ prepare the diEneF
too, SO she neglected her attire for TIE
dinner. The dinner was net - nice as
usual, and when the husband came Rome
Snd found his wife looking hoI, urridy
aud cross, instead Of being pretlly
dressed and meeting I'm WITH smile, he
did not resign himself TO he changed
order Of things very ersceGuliv. Things
went on from Dad TO worse: RE Diners
became poorer and poorer, Ger toilet
more and more disOrde5lv, and, cf
course, the house hGrmrn.Zet gi5n her
attire.
The prOverbisl last straw i00'7 0r this
guise. In their period ot gItas calm and
happiness the husband often brought
home 6 friend unexpectedly, and the
wife always made him welcome. He
knew the house was always in good Coz
dition, and as for tue dinner, no matter
wne-e man went he would not get one
so good. All his nOspjtG5Ie desires had
been relinquished recently, bu. az cd
friend OF his, aud one VINO h&d not visit
ed MIN since ne WIS married, called at
his office one evening just as he was 90
ing home, and, of course, there was
nothing Ief5 0u5 tn Gsk the friend 20 &C
company him. There 5Fas no tina TO
send 8Dy word Of the coming guest, and
it wss With fG2r aud trembling ne ap-
preached his nome.
The house YES in q total dlrkness-S

Gissgreesble AfteT lighting up be went
TO find his wife, aGd thers she Was IN The
kitchen IN the usual condition, the din
neT about half cooked and not enough
for the extra guest. II was too late TO
getia any provisions, the wife wss smsd,
because sGe WAS not told taG freud was
coming: the husband was Eugrl9T still,
and between them one can imagine
the pleasant time the friend passed
He fastened his departure IS much IS
he could, aud sitter be left there was
scene.
The FIST SERIOUS quarrel of 3 mal and
vile is terrible thing. In their head
long anger they make accusations that
raukle in the mind forever. They may
| become good friends sgsin, but lovers
never. Love car not withstand such
ahock. IWas considerably interested in
| the recital Of her wrongs, and l was
anxious TO know if the breach had been
repaired. Happening to De introduced
to her confdant few days later, 1 ssked
| her how the young couple were getting
| along; she looked very grave, and said
she Was afraid their journey TO the happy
valley was over, though she entertained
great hopes from visit the girls mother
was going to make to her daughters new
| home.
How many wives are there in this fair
| city OF Brooklyn that are pursuing the
same course? Most men like women to
| be well dressed, and during the courtship
no girl would present herself before her
atfianced unless her toilet was Just as it
| ought to be. Whabshe would rot do be-
fore marriage she should not do efter
| She should be even mere particular, for
the rOse-COIOred spectacles OF love are
apt to get little clearer once the mar
risge knot is tied. a womsn's husband
and her children are her world, and she
should always appear before them st her
very best.
When husband sees lis wife becom-
! ing careless few kind words and little
Of the fattery both sexes enjoy may cor
rect it before it has developed into 2
habit. The worst Of it is that most
husbands demand too much Of their
wives. They expect them to be always
smiling and agreeable, no matter what
humor they may be in, and the wife's
| Carelessness may often be the result II
the husbands selfshness.
